This time the spotlight will be shining on Expander, a fast-paced arcade experience about manipulating mass to avoid crashing into stuff. Let’s see if we can’t help it escape the cold emptiness of Greenlight limbo.Continue reading…

Flying Bundle, Indie Royale, Humble, Groupees… keeping track of all the new (and old) bundles is not easy these days. Wait, what am I saying? Of course it is! You just have to pay attention to my site. Problem solved. Seriously though, Blink Bundle's debut is not only incredibly Steam-centric, but also seems to be packing relatively new games. Interesting.Continue reading…

Math is either be incredibly boring or immensely entertaining - there's no middle ground. In the case of mobile puzzler 10, it's easily the latter. Sliding numbered blocks together until their sum is exactly ten (or in some cases, zero) may not sound like the most exciting thing ever. But don't worry, because that's just the core mechanic - there's definitely more than meets the eye to this game of numbers.Continue reading…

Day and night. White and black. Light and darkness. These all have one thing in common: they complement each other, and in a nutshell, that's what Light Fantastik is all about. Well, that and some fast-paced platforming on a time limit. You won't get far without using your reflection though, and as one might expect, its controls are… inverted.Continue reading…

Four potatoes, each almost the size of my entire body. What were they thinking, whoever genetically engineered these things?! Also, how on Earth will the world be saved by collecting them? Oh, right: video game. Anyway, considering how difficult transporting them is, someone better turn the lot into delicious chips once everything's said and done!Continue reading…

Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of a garbage collector (aka. the player), on a quest to find out what happened to his partner who one day simply vanished. It won't be an easy or simple search & rescue mission though, because as one might imagine, he's far from alone out there. Space pirates lurk around every corner, looking for shipwrecks to sell as scrap… including yours, if you're not careful!Continue reading…

Being a reporter ain't always easy and it's definitely not all rainbows and unicorns. However sad and morbid, a dead body is still a potential scoop, and that's exactly what you'll be dealing with in Obscura. Although in an odd (or clever?) twist, you're not even remotely bound by journalistic integrity. The truth, the story… well, it's whatever you want it to be!Continue reading…

Nowadays, people are constantly rushing off somewhere, trying to get things done before they even started. It's beyond crazy and potentially hazardous! On top of that, there seems to be little for sitting down to relax with a good book, watch a movie or even play video games. Probably why more than a few developers have taken to crafting compact experiences, titles that won't take weeks to beat, while still enjoyable. Welcome to The Indie Post.Continue reading…

It’s a fact that many Steam users don’t check or even notice most Greenlight additions. There are simply too many, making it rather time consuming. Hoping to alleviate this problem somewhat, I bring you The Greenlight Groove, featuring my recommendations from the past week!Continue reading…

Being locked up in a prison cell is hardly ideal, no matter who you are. Even less for these four adventurers who, according to themselves, have done nothing wrong! So after a few minutes of chit-chat and some lock picking, the mad dash to freedom begins. Guards, spiders, and other nasties shall not stand in the way of their escape… no matter how fool hearted their plan.Continue reading…

With the funding goal reached and development of chapter 4 in the spooky saga coming along nicely, the beta has been made available. This time, players will be visiting Pevensey, searching for answers to questions still lingering in the mind of our protagonist… but will Jeremiah Devitt find more than he bargained for?Continue reading…

This time the spotlight will be shining on The Maker's Eden, a first person point and click adventure, presented in the style of a motion comic (wait, what?!). Let’s see if we can’t help it escape the cold emptiness of Greenlight limbo.Continue reading…

Permadeath, monsters, randomly generated content, RPG elements aplenty. Those are just some things that make roguelikes so much fun, and I'll be damned if Humble didn't just line up six great ones at a ridiculously low price. Grand adventures and certain death awaits!Continue reading…

Hang on! Hold on, just a minute. Need to find… ah, here it is: my Greenlight hat. Just kidding, I don't have a Greenlight hat. Maybe I should though, with all the Greenlight that goes through my site. Did I say Greenlight yet? Oh, okay. Anyway, Indie Royale's 9th debut bundle, you know what to do - cheap indie games! Go! Buy! Exclamation marks!Continue reading…

If the above screenshot looks somewhat familiar, it's because Droid Arcade is a revamped and more action-y version of Droidscape: Basilica. Like in the original, humanity's in trouble and Bishop 7's our last hope. Nothing new there. But what has changed, is how the game controls and plays, as you'll be playing this revision with your finger instead of your face (wait, what?).Continue reading…

Actions speaks louder than words. A phrase almost older than time itself, and one that certainly rings true for Shin Samurai Jazz. I mean, the game is 40% action, 50% platforming, and 10% story/dialogue. Just like in the good old days! Who needs a bunch of chatty NPC's anyway, when you're able to (almost) fly like an eagle, slicing bad guys left and right with crazy air juggles? Exactly.Continue reading…

War. War never changes. Neither does mankind, much as I'd love to think otherwise. We'll always be driven by our needs, fueled by our desires. This can be both good and bad, especially when science is part of the equation, as is the case in Unit 44. As the disembodied version of Jonathan, an Allied soldier, it's your duty to figure out how you ended up in this lab, and exactly what is going on.Continue reading…

Hell-bent on resurrecting his lost love, a wizard has conjured a concoction so powerful, it lets him control life and death. He should have known better though, and to exactly no one's surprise, Death catches wind of this and curses the entire town! All because of one lovestruck fool. As such, it has fallen upon you to find a solution to this peculiar pickle. But can you? Will you? Should you? Duh! Of course you should.Continue reading…

For those of you keeping score at home, that's a total of 23 games which will never have to spend time in the cold emptiness of Greenlight, as they get to skip not only the fee, but the entire thing. Some finalists are already on Steam though, like Papers, Please, The Stanley Parable and Don't Starve. But as for the rest, I have a feeling most won't be able to pass up such an opportunity.Continue reading…

No doubt about it. Valve's definitely preparing for the removal of Greenlight. Two batches in one month? Can't wait to see what'll replace it though, because mark my words, something will! But alas, that's a tale for another time, so for now, what say we celebrate this batch which is overflowing with greatness?Continue reading…

Ever wondered what would happen if someone mixed Breakout with Peggle, and put it into a circular design? Because that's pretty much how I'd describe Ballkeeper. Only, there's no paddle and Ode to Joy is not part of the experience. What you do get, however, is a lovely brick breaker with a rather unique twist.Continue reading…

In this tilt-controlled puzzler, you'll be playing the part of Kozmic, a blue ball (go ahead, laugh it up) on a mission to rescue his Little Blues. Getting the ball rolling is easy enough, but you do have to watch out for laser turrets, evil cubes and other nasty hazards along the way. Surely you didn't think a rescue mission would be easy, did ya now?Continue reading…

It took a few weeks, but Flying Bundle have now joined everyone in 2014, sporting discounted quality indie games in their fifth outing; which, unsurprisingly, goes by the name… 5. Yup. Although, with a lineup that includes Gish, BasketBelle and CreaVures, who cares what the bundle is called? Cheap indie games is cheap indie games!Continue reading…

Wizards. Never did trust them, and in this case, my suspicions were well-founded. They grew so powerful that in the end, unsurprisingly, it corrupted them along with the entire world, shattering it into several fragments. Now, the few surviving [wizards] have tasked you with gathering heroes to fix this mess; instead of, you know, dealing with it themselves. Curse those robed hoodlums!Continue reading…

While our calendars may read 2014, graphics sporting a pixelated art style are not the ancient relic some believe (or wish) it to be. Logically speaking, in this age of shiny lifelike visuals, such low resolution drawings surely have no place in video games, right? Well, then a lot of developers are not only defying logic, but are also doing a darn good job at it! Welcome to The Indie Post.Continue reading…
